On Saturday, June 10, at 7.30pm, Brandreth will perform his five-star 2013 Edinburgh Festival set Looking For Happiness at The Witham, offering comedy fans one last chance to see the show live.
In Looking For Happiness the Just A Minute regular, One Show reporter and award-winning raconteur sets out to solve one of the life’s most pondered conundrums – how to be happy.
Brandreth began his search for the secret to happiness in Las Vegas – and ended it in the chair of psychiatrist Dr Anthony Clare. What Dr Clare taught Brandreth about who gets to be happy and how provide the essence of this unique one-man show that is guaranteed to make you laugh and might even change your life.
Peppered with hilarious anecdotes and stories from his life in theatre and politics – and with a little help from Freud, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Howard and the Queen – join Brandreth in this joyous journey, and discover his Seven Secrets of Happiness. A former Oxford Scholar, MP, and Government Whip, Brandreth has also appeared on QI, Have I Got News For You, Room 101, The IT Crowd, Pointless and Countdown.
Not content with being one of Britain’s most sought-after award ceremony hosts and after-dinner speakers, Brandreth is also an accomplished writer, with his acclaimed detective series – The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries – being published in 21 countries.
Funny Way To Be promoter Peter Dixon said: “Gyles’ last show with us was a sell-out, and the entire audience left dazzled by his charm and wit.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring another of his tremendous shows to our audience, who I’m sure will love this one as much as the last.”
Tickets are priced £20 and are available now from funnywaytobe.com and The Witham Box Office. The show is suitable for ages ten-plus.
Founded by Peter Dixon in 2010, Funny Way To Be is the home of comedy in Barnard Castle. Previous acts include Russell Howard, Russell Kane, Mark Watson, Jason Cook and Chris Ramsey.
